I can't believe the coach just stands there and lets his players launch up 200 3=pointers a night instead of playing a more organized type of game. How long can this team continuing winning by shooting so many 3's? Eventually the shit is going to stop falling and they will be forced to score points in other ways. That silly sh*t they are doing now is more suited for the street league and will not help them win in the playoffs.

As a coach, if he sees his team had a big lead from shooting 3's that's the time to let them to slow the game down and get better shots. Not continue to come down and launch even more three's when they can start missing and allow the other team to get back in the game.

The Knicks need to change their style of play

It appears the OP missed the Mavs' 2011 championship run...as they were designed almost identical to this season's Knicks.

Tough-minded, full of veterans, always have the floor spread with shooters, Tyson in the middle, and a prolific scorer to rely on (Dirk and now 'Melo).

NYC is primed and ready.

F*cking hilarious. Are people really forgetting how many improbable things led to the Mavs winning the championship? It won't be replicated and just because you can find similarities doesn't make the team anywhere near the same.

For one, the Mavs have a way better coach and a culture of winning without anywhere near the pressure the Knicks are under.

Re: The Knicks style of basketball is not going to work in the playoffs

Luckily playing inside is easy when you have Melo, Amare, Smith and Felton who can beat people off the dribble, and also Jkidd with Tyson on the lob. Not to mention all of these guys can pick and roll with the best.

We launch 3's because the rest of the league can't handle those factors, leaving us WIDE open. Luckily everyone from our gaurds to our bigs have a deadly jumper. (Aside from Chandler)

how am i supposed to watch that game and predict how they will play in the playoffs?

im just gonna wait a couple of months when things get sorted out and see what you say then. there's always a small possibility, but there is also the possibility that the heat could beat them at their own game due to superior play-making and penetration. not to mention they have shooters with big game experience .
